This male American Wigeon was photographed in a lake in San Bernardino, CA. The lovely afternoon light created nice colors and reflections. 1/17/21 www.sparhawkphotography.com
Last time I was down at San Jacinto Wildlife Area, I was surprised that I hadn't seen the usually quite common Mallard ducks, even when I had been down at Salton Sea. As I drove around the auto loop, suddenly there was this happy couple, my first Mallards of the year. He was a particularly handsome one, and she was showing her blue wing feather, so of course I had to take a quick shot of them. 1/16/21 www.sparhawkphotography.com
This duck was photographed in Fairmount Park in Riverside, CA. It got its name from the purple ring at the base of its neck, which isn't always visible--it does show in this view. 1/10/21 My website: www.sparhawkphotography.com
